mounting trout ? help please

[may1501]

anyone know how to properly freeze a trout till i take it to be mounted ?

 

[Pat Tria]

The idea is to avoid freezer burn and retain the integrity of the skin.
This can be done by freezing the fish in water.

got pictures of this bad boy! You consider plastic version?

 

[wtailchaser]

Either freeze it in water, or wrap it up well in wet towels. Use several plys of outer plastic bags to seal the wrapped up fish.

where you been fishing...not exact location but what watershed/

 

[dawg2]

maybe it was a trophy trout pond...or a pellet pig from the soque or other pellet fed fish...

Nothing wrong with a pellet pig About like a corn fed deer

if you freeze it in water then you wont be able to get an accurate price from the taxidermist. they cant measure it in a block of ice.....

and do not put any kind of paper on it.

get it in a plastic bag and then get it to the taxidermist.
